How to Make a Speckled Egg Painted Bowl
And it was actually quite by accident!
I began with a plain wooden bowl and I wanted to paint only the inside for this project.
I thought about painting it white or trying a new blue stain...
The color wasn't what I wanted so I wiped it off... or so I thought.
When the bowl dried I began painting it with Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.
Raw silk is a beautiful warm white.
Little did I know but the blue stain had leached into the wood and it mixed with the Raw Silk when I painted the bowl.
I let the first coat dry, thinking it would seal before I gave the bowl another coat of Raw Silk.
The stain and the paint mixed again!
Ok it was meant to be!
The mixture of the stain and the Raw Silk made a gorgeous Robin's egg blue color!
Purely by accident!
So I did what anyone would do, I speckled it.
I used brown craft paint and a stiff brush to splatter brown paint into the bowl.
When the splatters were dry I gave the inside of the bowl a coat of Fusion Mineral Paint's Tough Coat as a sealer.
This beautiful bowl will be filled with decorations for Spring and Easter this year at my house.

It was a beautiful accident!
